Dear Lt, Eddy:

I want to thank you for your interest end your
letter that you have written me, I appreciate it very much, I
assure yous ;

Beg I am very much interested in Lem Jones. My —
secretary, Mrs, Bud French, is the wife of Bud French, a Central
High School star of former days, They knew Lem through Clarence
MeGuire's, who was Lem's Sunday School teacher. Mac, as we call
Clarence McGuire, played on ovr varsity teams here at Kansas and
is a fine influence with young men,

I have just received a letter from Lem, doubtless

due to your kind words. I am writing’ him today and I want you to

know thet I appreciate all the things that you have done for us here
at Kee \

Owen Peck is still the same fine chap that he always
was and Johnny Kanas is coming along fine, He was a little excitable
at first but is in about the same position as Owen Peck was a year ago.
Next year Johnny will be right in there. He is fine, clean, intelli-
gent, and a scrapper.

Doubtless you have read about George Sauer being
appointed football coach, Those people who have expressed an opinion
look hopefully toward his bringing Kensas’to a higher plane than it
has achieved here before. I agree with you that our football situation
could be improved, It would help all of our high schools in Kansas.

I will certainly be glad to see you when you are
out in Junee Here's wishing you continued success which you have
enjoyed the past several years. With all good wishes, I am ~

Sincerely yours,

te Director of Physical Education,
FCAsMF Varsity Basketball Coach,
